    Almost every time I start a multiplayer game, my game crashes. The screen goes black for a little while and then it says PA.exe has stopped working.

    You've only got 2GB RAM and 32bit OS. Recommended minimum is 4GB and 64bit-OS. You could try making really small planets but really you need an upgrade.

    You have two problems there. First one is outdated drivers:
    Code:
    Card name: ATI Radeon HD 5570
    Driver Date/Size: 4/20/2011 05:09:06, 676864 bytes
    You need to download and install latest drivers from AMD website:
    http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows 7 - 32

    Second problem it's low RAM and 32-bit OS memory limitations:
    Code:
    Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.140303-2144)
    Memory: 2048MB RAM
    Available OS Memory: 2048MB RAM
    To make game work on 32-bit you need to apply workaround explained in this topic:

    @ZaphodX already noticed that your RAM too low for PA.

    Thanks for trying to help. I really do need an upgrade but I don't have the money for a whole new PC unfortunately. Guess I'll have to live with it until I can get the money. Thanks again though.

    Also, I totally should've expected this from a computer I got for free. Oh well.
